Eligibility Requirements
Students must first submit an application for admission and declare their intent to maintain legal domicile in their home state at the time of application. Students are welcome to submit a WUE contract before they have been admitted to the University; however, we will not review, process, or inform them of our decision until after they have received a final admission decision. This takes place after we have received and reviewed a student’s final official transcript upon high school or community college graduation. Please consult the Enrollment Guide that accompanied our offer of provisional admission for important dates and deadlines associated with final transcripts and other enrollment requirements.
Conditions for enrollment:
- For admission to California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI):
- Freshman applicants must meet the non-CA resident admission requirements. Students may be eligible for admission with a GPA of 2.50 to 2.99 when evaluated by supplemental factors.
- Upper Division Transfer applicants must meet the higher GPA requirement of 2.50 and all other transfer admission requirements.
- The WUE Program is only open to U.S. Citizens and non-citizens legally present in the United States.
- Students pursing a second bachelor’s degree, credential, master’s, doctoral, or Extended University program are not eligible to participate in WUE.
- WUE students are not eligible for California resident tuition. Students cannot apply time accrued while participating in the WUE program to establish California residency.
- Students may receive the WUE tuition rate for 8 semesters (four years) or until the completion of the bachelor’s degree, whichever comes first (extensions may be granted on a case-by-case basis).
